I can only speak for myself. I've had tinnitus for 22 years as a result of a sober fall down a flight of stairs on my back. I've had diagnosed Neuropathy for 3 years, of course I'd had it much longer, but the pain meds I was taking for chronic pain, masked it. Only after I tried to come off the medication did a Neurologist look me in the eye and told me that I had severe axonal neuropathy (whole body) even my face. Not all days are unbearable, I call it a different ride everyday. I know Neuropathy did not cause my tinnitus, I believe it is a vestibular condition caused from the fall. Hope this helps.
